Tell me if i am wrong, When i opened that topic , it was to know if we could hope any FG update to get an altitude instrument which can be able to indicate more than 61000 ft. We have had a lot of discussion on it , but nothing which could give the right answer. Do we have to stay with that limitation => 61000 ft ? Do we have to conclude that FG altitude instruments is unable to give the right value? Or is it only a bug which could be solved ?
